Liverpool Chase £78m, Barcola

It is worth noting that Liverpool’s incredible spending summer has not yet fully packed Arne Slot’s roster.
In particular, Virgil van Dijk’s central defense is light, especially now Joe Gomez has suffered a minor Achilles injury after selling Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen’s £35million.
Then turn your head to the front line. Incredible additions to emerging superstars like Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike suggest that Liverpool are shaping one of the deadliest frontlines in the game (if they haven’t).
However, Luis Diaz went to Bayern Munich last month and now Darwin Nunez is about to transfer permanently to Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.
Since neither Federico Chiesa nor Harvey Elliott were aware of themselves, Liverpool had to add another attacker to their mix, and FSG seemed to have one or two shocking names.
Liverpool chases another striker
Of course, the dream transfer goal is Alexander Isak. You may have heard that Liverpool is interested in signing the striker for Newcastle United and there are rumors that he is also keen on his journey to Anfield.
Unfortunately, Newcastle’s transfer market is a pitiful thing, and Eddie Howe undoubtedly felt hot under his collar. Tyneside misses many top goals, and Benjamin Sesko is now looking to sign Manchester United, Isak must Be signed or he won’t leave.
The initial £69 million signing of Hugo Ekitike last month has eased demand for Premier League superstars, but it is still an amazing signing.
But sports director Richard Hughes is a deep man who hasn’t put all his eggs in one basket. Liverpool are becoming a contender for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, although it is indeed difficult to close the summer deal.
If neither is implemented, there is another option in the wing, which may be the perfect choice for the Slot system.
Liverpool joins Barcola to upgrade
According to L’Equipe, Liverpool are signing Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
Rodrygo, 24, is expected to leave Santiago Bernabeu this summer, struggling to earn the table last year and slipping out an early pecking order in the shaping of the Xabi Alonso era.
Liverpool’s interest in Balcola may have just been revealed, but their admiration for Rodrigo is also substantial, with alleged price tags in South America reportedly falling into the £78 million region.
Why Liverpool want to sign Rodrygo
Rodrygo came under fire last season for his performance with Los Blancos. That’s his level; that’s what Real Madrid expects.
His 25-target contribution returns are still matched by the earnings of Liverpool’s Diaz and Cody Gakpo, perhaps indicating that the forward slot’s ability will increase his squad, comparable to the Red Crop, but able to have more abilities.
Given his chance to play forward on the left, a rare experience at Real Madrid in recent years, Rodrygo is eager to move to Anfield, which is understandable if he moves to Anfield entirely, as he only had about 12 games last year with the wingers getting six goals and six assists from the left winger.
Although Real Madrid’s selfless superstar has been unable to make a place for most of the recent season, he still manages to impress, with former teammate Luka Modric even claiming to be one of the club’s “world-class superstars”.
When you sort out his seasonal data with Barcola’s seasonal data, you may start to see his basic qualities that show that he will be at a higher level than Barcola.

Admittedly, Barcola enjoyed a better season, won tetraploids with PSG and won 42 goals in all competitions.
But when digging deeper, it’s clear that Rodrygo is the best player in both, and given that they’re both stuck in a similar financial stadium, it’s one that Liverpool must push.
For example, the French winger is considered a silky high-speed dribble, but he averaged only one dribble per game in Ligue 1 last year, and more importantly, according to Sofascore’s success, he had a success rate of only 27%.
In fact, FBREF also recorded his lowest 4% of last season’s attacking midfielder and wingers with success rates last season, highlighting the failed effort to push the ball forward.
The player will successfully take over when he or she keeps possession by directly defeating them.
That doesn’t negate his quality; after all, Barcola just played a major role in the Champions League championship sport. However, Rodrygo knew that he had won twice in the elite competition in Europe and could also meet a force at a commercial destination.
Additionally, Barcola has not polished its shooting boots yet. Although he scored 17 goals in PSG’s Ligue 1 and Champions League campaigns, he also missed 33 big opportunities.
Instead, Rodrygo missed only three big opportunities, even though he also scored only 11 times in a disappointing season. Still, this makes a strong comment on his prolific ability.
Madrid columnist Kiyan Sobhani said the Brazil international was “unstoppable” when he was on A-Game.
Ultimately, the fact that Liverpool fans have signed Wirtz, Ekitike, Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Giorgi Mamardashvili for whether they like Barcola or Rodrygo as a potential replacement for Isak has been signed by the fact that Wirtz, Ekitike, Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Giorgi Mamardashvili, which illustrates how far the club has reached.
The most enviable position for Premier League champions, but if you choose a bunch, Hughes might want to move to Rodrygo.
